Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez still wants to sign Neymar, according to the player’s ex-agent, Wagner Ribeiro.
Wagner revealed that whether the Spanish club will be able to pull it off is another thing but the interest is definitely there.
According to him, Neymar wanted Barcelona when he was about to leave Santos despite him doing everything possible to take him to Real Madrid at the time.
He added that the Perez recently told him in his office that it remains his dream to bring the Brazilian to the Bernabeu.
His words, “Neymar wanted Barcelona [when he was at Santos],”
“I tried hard to take him to Real Madrid, I brought three of Real Madrid’s directors to Sao Paulo.
“They spent 15 days in my office with Neymar’s father, with Neymar, trying to sign him. But in the end, Neymar followed his heart; he wanted to play for Barcelona.
“Florentino dreams of signing Neymar. Last year, in May, I went to Florentino’s office and he told me he still has this dream.”
